It is Sunday night and you are asking the question again: what else could I even do? Three Claude prompts that turn the spiral into a list before you go to bed.
Open claude.ai. The free version is enough. Run the three prompts below in one chat, in order. The whole thing takes about ten minutes, and you need nothing except your resume.
A promise built into all three: Claude is instructed to work only from what you actually did. No invented skills, no imaginary jobs.
Here is my resume. Ignore my job titles completely. List the 15 skills I have actually demonstrated, in plain words, ranked by how much evidence the resume shows for each.
Resume: [paste it]
For my top 5 skills, list the jobs and freelance work where people get paid for exactly that skill, including titles I might not know exist. One sentence each on what the work involves.
Based on my history, pick the 3 options that need the least retraining. For each one, name the single gap I would need to close and one free way to close it.
Ten minutes ago the question was "what else could I even do." Now you have three named options, each with one gap and one free way to close it. That is what the Sunday feeling needed. Not courage. A list.
Tomorrow the list meets the job boards, and applying is its own skill. The Four-Minute Application is the next 12 prompts: decode any posting, tailor your resume to it honestly, follow up, and prep the interview, about four minutes per application. It is $9 (list $19) and it runs in the same free Claude you used tonight.
